An effort to prevent sexual assault involves...nail polish?!

NORTH CAROLINA (WITI) -- Can nail polish help to prevent sexual assault?!

Some undergraduate engineering students at North Carolina State University got together to create a new line of nail polish that changes colors when it comes into contact with potential date rape drugs.

If a woman is wearing the polish, all she has to do is dip her finger in her drink and stir it around.

If the drink is laced with drugs like Xanax, Rohypnol or GHB, the polish will immediately change color which is an immediate red flag.

The students are currently looking for funding for their nail polish at UnderCovercolors.com.
